“Workmanship”

Blessings folk!

Take a moment to review the context of verse 10…
Then, give great heed and attention to what is said in verse 10…

Ephesians 2:1-10
1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins
2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—
3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 Forby grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
10 
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.


We, True Believers, are His Workmanship.
That is who you are.
Think on that.
The Workmanship of the Most High God.

We are created in Christ Jesus...there it is again...In Him!
In Him we are created.
Why?
For good works.

What do we learn of these works?
God prepared them beforehand.
Before what?
I believe before the foundation of creation was spoken into existence.
God has prepared works for us to walk in.

That is what we as Believers are to do.
Walk in the works prepared for us.
Not the works we create.
Not the deceptive works that man and the evil one throw our way.
The Works prepared for us.

Note, they are prepared.
Not haphazard.
The Lord has a purpose for each Believer.

May we walk in the work that He has purposed before the foundations of the earth.

Remember…
You are His Workmanship.
You are created in Christ Jesus.
The Works are prepared.
Walk in them.
